I think that those amounts of money are unrealistically large. I have inserted a decimal point to bring them down to size.

If you have $\$3.80$ remaining, and you need an extra $\$4.70$ to buy an additional burger, then the price of a burger must be $\$3.80 + \$4.70 = \$8.50$. The cost of 15 burgers would then be $\$8.50 \times 15 = \$127.50$. Having spent that amount, you have $\$3.80$ remaining. Therefore you must have started with $\$127.50 + \$3.80 = \$131.30$.
